Mitch McConnell just hinted Republicans could take another crack at repealing Obamacare if the midterms go his way

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the GOP would take another shot at repealing Obamacare if the party kept control of Congress this fall.

McConnell called the failure to repeal Obamacare "the one disappointment of this Congress from a Republican point of view."

Democrats are hammering Republicans on healthcare in the lead up to the midterms, as the GOP's repeal and replace plans proved unpopular.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants another shot at repealing the Affordable Care Act, the law better known as Obamacare.

"If we had the votes to completely start over, we'd do it," McConnell told Reuters in an interview Wednesday. "But that depends on what happens in a couple weeks ... we're not satisfied with the way Obamacare is working."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer quickly jumped on the comment, pointing to it as proof that the GOP wanted to gut various ACA protections, like safeguards for people with preexisting conditions.

"Americans should make no mistake about it: if Republicans retain the Senate they will do everything they can to take away families' health care and raise their costs," Schumer said in a statement. "Whether it be eliminating protections for pre-existing conditions, repealing the health care law, or cutting Medicare and Medicaid. Americans should take Senator McConnell at his word."

Democrats have hammered Republicans in the run up to the midterm elections, attacking their votes on Obamacare repeal and replace bills that would have weakened preexisting condition protections.
